Hi all - I just got into skydiving last year and am still pretty new to the sport. Luckily I have a good team of riggers and instructors in my circle of friends to back me up.
I just recently bought my first set of gear, including a container from the classifieds section of this site. The transaction was mostly successful, except that he didn't include toggles for the main or reserve. From my understanding, these go with a container like a steering wheel goes with a car.
When I asked him about them, he said "I dont have them i thought they were in there."
So I contacted SunPath and was quoted $68 for both sets, incl shipping. I then asked him to reimburse me for this amount, as they were supposed to be included with the container. To which he replied, "you never asked if they were there though" and refused to reimburse me. I bring you back to my analogy, when buying a used car, am I supposed to ask if it has a steering wheel?!
My overall impression of this guy was that he didn't know much about selling skydiving gear, so I even check the stolen gear section just in case.
So my question is what would you do in this situation? I'm not so worried about the money, but is there somewhere to report the user so that others can be wary?
Thanks,
Morgaine
